Yuval Noah Harari
“Most human cooperation networks have been geared towards oppression and exploitation.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“Because money can convert, store and transport wealth easily and cheaply, it made a vital contribution to the appearance of complex commercial networks and dynamic markets. Without money, commercial networks and markets would have been doomed to remain very limited in their size, complexity and dynamism.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“Participating on social media is only secondarily about sharing new information; it is primarily about maintaining and reinforcing common bonds.”
Carl T. Bergstrom, Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World

Stanisław Lem
“It is the premise of science fiction that anything shown shall in principle be interpretable empirically and rationally. In science fiction there can be no inexplicable marvels, no transcendences, no devils or demons—and the pattern of occurrences must be verisimilar.”
Stanisław Lem, Microworlds

Yuval Noah Harari
“People easily understand that ‘primitives’ cement their social order by believing in ghosts and spirits, and gathering each full moon to dance together around the campfire. What we fail to appreciate is that our modern institutions function on exactly the same basis.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
